Thanks to Jon over at the Wizard Is Hungry blog, the mystery behind the Google Valentine logo is now solved.
The logo is a reference to Debbie Googe from the band My Bloody Valentine.
According to the official Google blog:
When you look at the logo, you may worry that we forgot our name overnight, skipped a letter, or have decided that “Googe” has a better ring to it. None of the above. I just know that those with true romance and poetry in their soul will see the subtlety immediately. And if you’re feeling grouchy today, may I suggest eating a strawberry.
Now when I did my post last night at 10:23 PM and also this morning at 7:21 AM, the Google blog had not been updated with the hints to the mystery behind the logo.
Thanks Jon for the heads up.

But one still had to digg deeper to find out that Googe was a poet back in the days?
